Hi Justin,
Thanks for the tip, Ill try it with the shure's - I do have the et=
ymotics and from memory the cables are far thinner - I think in this case t=
he protrusion of the actual earphone drivers was causing the interference -=
with winds approaching 15 kph turning my head I was able to reduce the eff=
ect. I also use koss portapro's to check the lows, or rather in this partic=
ular location the infusion of 90's dance bass lines drifting over the sea :=
)
Ive been looking for a material that can be bent into shape for fitting aro=
und ears, specifically the sennheiser head would benefit from different mic=
s, that could be placed over its ears - wire doesnt work very well and othe=
r solutions look rather diy. Ill try some polymorph/thermoset plastic when =
im home.. The current rig uses silicone moulds in the ear canals, the mic c=
apsules are held in the silicone with the cable running behind the head.
BR
Mike.
